China's state news agency Xinhua lauded President Xi Jinping on Saturday as a tireless, selfless and scholarly servant of the people, ahead of a key meeting of the ruling Communist Party that is expected to further cement his authority.
Xi is "a man of determination and action, a man of profound thoughts and feelings, a man who inherited a legacy and dares to innovate, and a man who has forward-looking vision and is committed to working tirelessly," Xinhua said.
Xinhua's profile, headlined "Xi Jinping, the man who leads CPC on new journey", portrayed the president as a man with "little time for himself", for whom "happiness is achieved through hard work." It covers Xi's early career as a village official in the provinces of Shaanxi and Hebei, irrigating farms by day and devouring Karl Marx's Das Kapital in his spare time. It extols Xi's "signature anti-corruption campaign", his commitment to "intra-party democracy" and his role in the nation's "rejuvenation".
